the stupidity of the human body
apparent in even the best of our breed
worst in Darwin's rejects
in this day and age
kept alive by God killers
not meant to live
only the stupid body knows
Lord only knows how stupid our souls
the wisdom of our stupid bodies
the itch at the beauty of spring
responds to majestic fall with mucous
chokes wheezes struggles to rid itself of the world
the disconnect between mind and body
the stupid mind thinks it deserves
it wants the world
wants to pet the puppy
wants to savor shrimp
to smell the flowers
to lie in the grass
to kick up dust to inhale dust of old books in the attic
to love the world
and sometimes
the stupidest bodies would rather self-destruct
than surrender to a peanut butter kiss
bites at the thighs
swims in the veins
rivers of purple red and blue
they will dry up someday
shrink like a raisin in the sun
and hard as
and you will be cold
